I just made your recipe. So simple and smells great. I used eucalyptus and sandalwood essential oils. I am trying to detoxify my life with all natural solutions and this is one more check off my list.. Thank you ❤
Vinegar also helps sets in the color. So if you have a new pair of jeans that you don't want to bleed, wash them with a cup of white vinegar in hot water.
~~January 2020~~Enjoyed the video the fact that you took the time to demonstrate not only the how but the why (e.g., why vinegar instead of another carrier) brought your demonstration video to another level wishing you much success in the coming year/decade
I came across your channel a couple of days ago and had to subscribe. I love your content. But it's funny because as I watched you, I was like...she reminds me of Lisa from Farmhouse on Boone (whom I absolutely love)...so happy I found you.
You can just take and snip the center of that fabric and PULL and TEAR the whole length! Then lay together and cut BOTH at the same time so you will only need to do 10 cuts to get the 6 inch squares! easy-peasy & fast and GREAT IDEA to make fabric softeners
I just made a batch of these and am excited to try them!! Can you use them on dry clothes that you are just wanting to de-wrinkle and fluff? Or is it best to only use them with a wet load that you are drying for the first time?
Lots of things to love about this....1) the logic of not bothering to sew them. You out-Lisa'd Lisa on that one. 2) Lisa telling you to make them yourself. She's the real deal. Your powers combined make some sort of transformer super mom. Great work!
Thank you for sharing this great household tip Ms.OOH, I'm definitely going to give this a try. I read in the comments of one of your subscribers about the idea of using sponges. Would you also happen to have an idea how to use those and does it matter what particular kind to use?:)
a little help. I tried this, and experimented with it, and my clothes came out very soft which is nice, but the scent I used didn't linger in the clothes. I used about 30 drops.
I use your recipe with some sponges I already had. Love the clean tea tree oil (Melaleuca) scent. It helps cut down on static. I’ve been using them for a couple of months & I love the freshness! Thank you for your video!
Hello, Ms.SheenaCa,thanks for sharing your idea of using sponges could you please explain a little in detail what type of sponges you use or do you cut them up?:)
You mention using oil cotton shirts for the sheets .. does that mean any? For example, could I use a black t shirt? Or do you think a white one works best?
This was Amazing!! I had my doubts ...used it when i was drying my shower curtains & bath mat..everything came out so fresh..no heavy scent..just Fresh😊
Instead of using vinegar and adding essential oils, use the all purpose vinegar which is 6%. Cut lemons, or pine or cedar or many other options,(lavender, roses, mint, etc.) Let them infuse in the vinegar for a couple of weeks, strain and add to your jar of cloth pieces, less pricey than essential oils.
I avoid washing & drying flannel, towels, socks my & fleece with my clothing, bedding or anything else that I do not want to cause piling to nice my clothing & linens. Using flannel for dryer sheets I’d imagine will cause pilling. Cotton or broad cloth I think would avoid this. Peaking shears would resolve the strands & having to surge edges. If you don’t fix the strands I’d imagine those too will cause piling as well as strands getting caught up in buttons & other parts of clothing. Just my opinion. Love the idea to make scented dryer sheets.
I’m having a hard time with static too. I got the fragrance free bounce sheets but I know that’s not good for you either. I use thedryer balls but still get static. Have you found anything that works yet?
@@ouroilyhouse Thank you! Btw - I absolutely LOVE your products. It has been so refreshing to integrate your wonderful recipes into our home! Keep up the great work!!!
@@metrogurl30 Coconut oil won't work as a substitute to essential oils, they are different. The essential oils are needed for the scent, but without them they will still help with static and soften.

Great job!
I tried it out with a load of 1 blanket queen size bed sheets and pillowcases and a couple of towels. Absolutely no static cling!!! Simply amazing.

Thank you so much! I am so glad you enjoyed it!
Anybody else need to make a sploof but didn’t have any dryer sheets so came here
😂
I keep mine wet wet. They are going in the dryer with wet clothes anyway.
I made them using handi wipes. Works great and no fraying at all!
Great idea! Thank you for sharing!
@@ouroilyhouse will felt be ok to use?
Maybe using pinking shears would be an easy way to help cut down on the fraying?
Great suggestion, thanks!

Hahah that it is great!! She is pretty great!! I am thankful you are following along with me too!
When you cut with pinking shears your edges won't fray as much. I love this and will definately make some.
Sounds great, thanks for the tip!

"and not have to sew" YES! Whatever I can do to avoid sewing
Thank you for sharing this great household tip Ms.OOH, I'm definitely going to give this a try. I read in the comments of one of your subscribers about the idea of using sponges. Would you also happen to have an idea how to use those and does it matter what particular kind to use?:)
You're welcome! I have heard of doing that but haven't tried yet!
Such an easy and beautiful idea! Will definitely give it a try! Thank you for sharing!💐
You're welcome! Yes I love simple!! ;)
a little help. I tried this, and experimented with it, and my clothes came out very soft which is nice, but the scent I used didn't linger in the clothes. I used about 30 drops.
I would choose the no sew option too! Awesome tutorial, thanks! 💗
Haha yes I am not much for sewing! Glad you enjoyed it!
Can you use aromatherapy essential oil? Or does it have to be 100% essential oil non-aromatherapy?
Pinking shears will cut down the fray. Easy way to avoid having to sew with woven fabrics.
What if you got static when they come out of dryer?
Thanks! I'm running out of sheets right now so I'll try this!
Great! I love them!

What about fleece or felt it doesn't fray
eS-pecially instead of eK-specially
Do you have a update of these? How they'd do?
I am definetly going to try this but after a couple days won't they go bad ?
No they last awhile. I use the same batch for several weeks and then pour more liquid over top and keep using them.
Anytime i use vinegar thats all i smell 🤷♀️
To skip the sewing use pinking scissors.
Can't wait to try these! I never would have thought to use vinegar. Thank you!
You're welcome! I love them so much!
I'm making these today!!!!! I'm gonna use old t-shirts my kids can't wear anymore!!! Lol
That is a great idea!
Just got these done!!! My kids helped and loved it! I used lavender and tea tree oils, doTERRA of course😊
I am hoping to go to your essential
Oil page but it’s not letting me. Is there a direct website? Thank you
Yes! www.doterra.com/US/en/site/lauraascher
If we have soft water could we 1/2 the vinegar and add water?
Yes
Thank you 😊
You mention using oil cotton shirts for the sheets .. does that mean any? For example, could I use a black t shirt? Or do you think a white one works best?
Any would do as long as you aren't using something that will bleed on the clothes.
This was Amazing!! I had my doubts

I know this is an old video, but I just found it and just have to comment on your top! I love it! Thanks for the great recipes and ideas :)
Thanks so much! 😊
Ever been on top of a mountain and breathed deeply? What’s it smell like?! Definitely not like laundry, that’s because that’s a chemical.

Thank you for the suggestions! I have been using these for about a year and never had any issues.
Our Oily House f
Great video on making your own dryer sheets! first time visiting and new subscriber.
Thanks so much! 😊
Isn’t viniger bad for the dryer and washing machine?? I heard that it rusts it and burns the rubber.
We haven't had any issues.
@@ouroilyhouse ok, because my machine is an hp, so I was scared. Thank you!!
When those fray aren’t they going to leave little white threads all over your dark clothes?
So far mine aren't fraying at all so it hasn't been a problem.
I use homemade dryer sheets.... but after a month or so get I get this odd smell on my clothes. Do you have any tips to get rid of the smell?
Hi, I could not understand what you mentioned to get the moldy smell...
"Maruka" or something.
Thank you.
Melaleuca
@@ouroilyhouse thanks. Another name for tea tree oil. I learned something new from you.😊
Wash add baking soda, in rinse cycle use vinegar
Are essential oils safe to use as dryer sheets? Ive heard essential oils are flamable?
Where can I buy meluca oil at
I use doTERRA!
Do you by chance put water in this vinegar essential oil mixture?
Does this actually work like a normal Dyer sheet??
I thought you looked like Lisa! I have subscribed to her channel for a while! Now I’m new to yours! Blessings ❤️
Thanks for subscribing!
Thank You so much & Hava Awesome Day!!!!
Old hand towels can work equally well too!
why is the vinegar being used?
Helps to soften clothes
So how does this work for static?
Yes !
how do u spell the oil to get rid of musky smell
Won't those cloths mold after a while in the jar?
Is the odor the same strong than downy?
Do you get any oil transfer to your laundry
Nope!
you can use now sew glue for the edges
Oh now I could do that! great tip!
I just made this recipe. I used melaleuca and jade lemon! I hope it works for static, that's the only reason I haven't stopped using dryer sheets.
I’m having a hard time with static too. I got the fragrance free bounce sheets but I know that’s not good for you either. I use thedryer balls but still get static. Have you found anything that works yet?
How long do you you keep these and use them?
Thank you! Can't wait to try these.
You're welcome!
Love your channel thank you 💕
Thank you so much!
No not good
Is there a certain brand of essential oils you perfer?
I use doTERRA: shopoils.com/laura-ascher/
Will the oil not get on your cloths?
Essential oils do not stain clothes like cooking oils do. :)
@@ouroilyhouse thank you!!
Will felt be ok to use?
Once it comes back out of the dryer do you just put them back in the jar or do you wash them and start over?
I just put them back in the jar.
@@ouroilyhouse I'm on my 3rd load with them- OMG!!!!!! I'm in LOVE with this! So soft and smells like Bergamot and Lemons. Bravo, Madame!!!
Great idea, thanks for sharing! How do we reuse the sheets, do we wash them in between?
I just stick them back in the jar to let them get wet again and then reuse them. I don't wash them.
@@ouroilyhouse Thanks a lot!
Laura, do you have any dishwasher tablet recipes?
She does its added to her video list.
Could you use fragrance oils
Yes you can, they just aren't natural like essential oils.
loved it
Thank you!
Could one use muslin instead of flannel? Also, as others have said - I love your channel!
Yes
@@ouroilyhouse Thank you! Btw - I absolutely LOVE your products. It has been so refreshing to integrate your wonderful recipes into our home! Keep up the great work!!!
You had me until you said "expecially." *sigh*
Excellent ❤
Thank you!
Great tip/idea/advice, but video too long.
You're welcome. I will work on getting more to the point, thanks for the suggestion!
I like all your videos, long or short .
Would coconut oil be an option as well? ☺️ I’m trying to see if I can use what I have around the house versus running out and buying one ingredient.
Do you mean instead of the essential oils?
Our Oily House yes 😁
@@metrogurl30 Coconut oil won't work as a substitute to essential oils, they are different. The essential oils are needed for the scent, but without them they will still help with static and soften.
This could have been a 1 min vid.
Do one yourself then😉 and walaaah.
